Looks nice. The only characters I have are my kitties that like to roll around in the dirt. Rainbows turtle enclosure uses a tub normally made for koi ponds. Honeyman's invention so he(Rainbow, not Honeyman) could swim and climb a ramp and sun himself.

They are cute except when they get in the way.Tomorrow we are supposed to get almost 90. Garden is drying out so I hope to be planting some things later in the week.Rainbow is in heat heaven. Those turtles sure love the heat. :)

I have an Alice (as in Wonderland), sitting on a piece of driftwood. I made her at a craft class using a liquid rock based material to sculpt with wire and tshirt material. I took the class with a friend.

No garden gnomes or fairies, but I have a fake lizard sunning by my aloe vera and a colourful frog sitting on a ceramic mushroom in with my palm plant. It surprises people sometimes. The gnome reminds me of the movie 'Amelie'.

Hi DG, I'm with you on the subtle whimsy - sometimes these little garden accessories can be used to the point of overkill... to which I then want to pluck them from amongst the plants and run!

I just googled the movie you mention - I will have to see it, sounds delightful.

My mother has a few gnomes in her garden (which is also my garden) and I monitor their numbers. She secretly sneaks one in the group as if I won't notice - so one day I raided her stash - near gave her heart failure... looks like they are very dear to her so I won't be doing that any time soon. (but I did laugh, when she wasn't around... poor dear!)

That's funny about the raiding of her garden gnome stash. The father of 'Amelie' is attached to the gnome too, but you have to watch the movie to see why. It's a little quirky but provides peeks of Paris, too.

Only critters I have are wildlife. That's enough for me! Deer, turkeys, owls, hawks, blue jays, squirrels, chickadees and phoebes are frequent visitors to my yard...not all at once, but a few at a time.

gnomes scare me... and i have a secret love for the frogs, my wife threw out my collection awhile back to make room for her things. in her defense now we have moose, i am sick of moose. my collection of frogs was gross, it should have been tossed.

haha i loved this, jenny---i do have lots of these little darlings around my yard---in fact i have to stop myself--but the other day, i purchased a sweet little bunny that had a broken ear--still attached though--got it for half price :)
